Just below San Diego, Tijuana
Land of broken dreams
Senoritas dancing in the moonlight
Flashing Spanish dark eyes to everyone, it seems

Hey, gringo
Take us 'cross the border
Just tell them I’m your daughter
On the other side
On the other side

Down the backstreets, through the alleys
All the young men stand with pride
They guard the palace
Called Tijuana, you hear them say inside

Hey, gringo
Take us across the border
We'll work for just a quarter
On the other side
On the other side
